Bikie gang members face NT drug charges

Two men, including the sergeant-at-arms of the Darwin chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, will face court on Monday on drug trafficking offences.

The bikie officer, a 39-year-old man from Adelaide, and a 32-year-old Howard Springs man were arrested at a restaurant on the Stuart Highway in Darwin on Sunday afternoon.

An 18-year-old female Hells Angels associate was also arrested on Sunday at the Darwin Airport, allegedly in possession of approximately 56g of crystalline methamphetamine.

Police say all four were involved in a drug syndicate trafficking crystal meth from South Australia to Darwin, and over the weekend detectives seized from the syndicate $37,000 in cash, a commercial quantity of crystal meth and a trafficable amount of cannabis.

The two men are facing several charges, including supplying dangerous drugs, possession of tainted property and drug possession.

The arrests were made by Strike Force Lincoln, which was established in 2011 to combat the involvement of outlaw motorcycle gangs in drug offences and violence, with the leaders of both the Hells Angels and the Rebels in custody in Darwin on separate drug charges.

The 18-year-old woman will appear in Darwin Magistrates Court at a later date.
